I have an older model PC that I'm giving to my sister. It's an HP 8755c with ME installed. I have already added 512 KB of RAM and a 80gb HD to it. Here's the question: Do I need to upgrade ME to XP or Vista? She's only using it for CD burning and checking her E-mail and such. Very very basic stuff! Will Real Player, Nero, Windows Media Player all work with ME or should I upgrade the OS to keep up?
it is 512meg not 512kb of ram. as you have the space, cpu speed & ram then go for xp. i'm still using win98se on my p4 celeron 2.53ghz but have xp on my laptop
Of course, 512mb is what I meant. Anyway are you saying : I can upgrade to XP if I want. I should upgrade to XP to make it better. Or I must upgrade to XP for it work? Can I stay with ME and if not where should I buy XP at and do you know where a good guide is at for upgrading your OS to XP
why even upgrade to XP? Win98/98SE works just as well, hella lot better than ME ever will and for the uses you've exlained, its more than enuff. But as said, Win98/98SE/ME are no longer supported so that might be an inconvience.
What do you mean? You say Win98/98SE works just as well and much better than ME and so on. Here's the problem : I don't have Win98 I have ME So what should I do with this ME issue? Should I find a cheap Win98 or Win2k cd to uprade to? Where can I find a cheap OS install disc for my needs?
